Mujtahida:

He's not even a striker for his club. He's a RB!

Nsue was supposed to be a promising striker for Spain. We played him at U17 and U20 in 2007 and 2009 respectively and he was phenomenal. I was surprised to see him playing for Guinea years back and his club career never hit the top.

Atleast Civ beat Guinea Bissau. If not for own goal this game would have been goalless. Abysmal performance

Mujtahida:

It's just awful. A total eyesore and a let down on this CAF competition that has been breathtakingly exciting

Walahi, I'm tired.

This is the worst match so far in this competition. Secondary school level kind of stuff here.

caprikon:


His performances in the GWG have not been up to the level he showed during AFCON 2019.

His decision making in the final third is worrisome...just like Simon Moses.

Would love to see more of this version Lookman and maybe Nathan Tells after this AFCON.

Can't beat his man, can't trap the ball, can't cross, can't shoot, passing zero. He can't even shield his man properly. What a player

Chukwueze really fell off. He's not playing like an Ac Milan material.

M7even:


All these ones na still assumptions. Uzoho could have been there and we could be on 6 points as well. Mine too is another assumption. So let's stop all this capping.

Why aren't we on 6points at the world cup qualifiers?

Truidstarr:
oga u don dey change mouth na? Na una say we no go pass first round. Wetin happen ?

. I follow talk am. And that would have been the case if Uzoho was the number 1. The facts speak for itself.

Mujtahida:

But you confirmed what I said albeit justifying it as the best tactics. I stated the fact. You justified it.

No mind am

What kind of football did CAF commission for this tournament? Is it the jabulani? The speed of the games are breathtaking and the goals are flying in like crazy.
Pure madness here

Click.. Click...BANG!

Goke7:


I thought I saw it all with Algeria vs Burkina Faso, I no know say Mauritania go give me plenty vibes like this If I was in the stadium, my match ticket expired with that first-half display, I suppose pay extra for the second half.

Its bang bang bang football. Siasia and Pitso should be managing at this level.
3-2 now
Hahaha

If not for the security nightmare, it would have been worth it for Nigeria to host the Afcon. It's overdue but the timing is not right for even the foreseeable. Sad

Goke7:


No be lie o, I no miss epl at all

I'm watching Angola vs Mauritania with joy instead of Brentford / Nottingham forest.
Says alot

Mujtahida:

Ironically only naija parked the bus when we realized that our attack is not as sharp as we thought.

Hahaha ha

Wow! Wow! Wow!
The Afcon is looking more exciting than the Premiership. Never thought I'd say this.
Incredible football being played here.
No team parking the bus.

What a game

Starboytwo:
Those guys are truly Stallions. They dont stop running.

They are so skillful. Truly a fantastic, my favourites in this tournament. They will beat both Senegal and Morroco.
Abit of a back story, their coach, Hubert Velud was shot in the arm back in 2010 when the Togo team bus was attacked enroute Angola.
He has unfinished business with the Afcon.

Goodluck to anyone playing Burkina in the knockouts. You will need it

Burkina Faso were my personal team of the first round. I was really impressed with their game play.
It's 1-1 now but I have my money on them to beat Algeria

yinkeys:
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves now
One game at a time
We should live in the moment lol
Still a long way to go
Still got good teams in the tournament
CIV coach goofed for not inviting Zaha

Zaha never settled in the dressing room. He was like a fish out of water because he couldn't speak any French. He's had serious issues with assimilation due to language barrier that's why he hasn't blended with the group since his debut.

Elnino9:
Lolz..nobody talked about Kenneth omeruo necklace wahala...😂😂😂

The 4th official failed to do his job. He was probably carried away by the rhythm of the game.

Joezinho:


E sure me die say most people here nor sabi ball.

I nor sabi ball too but some people here are worse. Most of them are quiet because they were eagerly waiting for peseiro to fail so they can come out and scream, ” we told you so!!!” They can’t even criticize Osimhen because of selective amnesia. 😅😅

You can ban me or delete my comment but being nairaland famous is like being Rich in Monopoly..

You're being hilarious. As if Bassey have been world class over the past few years for club and country. His ill-fated time at Ajax is still fresh and the comment you quoted was on a match day Bassey gave Spurs 2goals.

Let's enjoy the win and not bring unnecessary negativity. We have suffered enough from minors getting results against us, going entire calendar year without a single win and even our world cup hopes in jeopardy. Pipe down

Uzoho rode on the Deportivo Lacarona tax to swindle past Super eagles handlers. They believed since he made a few cameo appearance in Spain, he was the best goalkeeper for Nigeria regardless his many personal errors.

We have been suffering and waffling about with Uzohos and the likes when we have competent hands who can do the job.

Switch up Uzoho with Nwabili, we would have qualified for the last World Cup. But you know, Uzoho trained at Deportivo and Nwabili was in the Nigerian league.
Never again!

Uzoho would have conceded from this Fofaana shot

This game is tailor made for Alhassan.

Curtisaxel10:


Out come the calculators!😎

My brother, we simply don't have a good team. We all know it. If we had a good team, the confidence will radiate to the fans.
We hope, regardless.

A draw won't be favourable tonight as we have to rely on Ivory coast beating Eq Guinea in their last match by atleast 2goals.
The lack of winning culture in this team must be arrested, starting from today!

Danielnino00:


I won't be too excited about Nwabili.. he was composed and confident yesterday,yes, but he was barely tested...we can't say for sure how good he is until he faces some real threat..CIV will definitely provide that

Uzoho didn't even have to be tested to parry balls into his own net. Let's call a spade a spade, Uzoho is not a national team material and Nwabili doesn't have to do anything extra ordinary to better than him.
I say this with my chest, Uzoho can't bench any keeper in the NPFL if he played in Naija.

Papi85:
I don’t care the position he played in that game but judging by your take he should be a super eagles regular till date because of the sumptuous goal he scored against Atleti

You make it sound as if Nwakali have been up to nothing. Wasn't he named man of the match in his club's game just this December?

This is how some of us have been clamouring for a change in the Gk position and midfield. Today Nwabili and Al hassan put up a commanding performance.

Same will happen when Igho Ogbu and Nwakali are brought in.
The voice of the people is the voice of God

Papi85:
very aware of that

But since he dribbled all of Atleti’s defense with Oblak and scored a lovely solo goal he should be super eagles number 10 till date 😜😜😜😜

Or even captain self 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

He didn't even play 10 in the game to start with and guess who was the man of the match? Yeah! You're absolutely right
